The interior truck panels will need to be removed. The rear shock will also need to be removed. A small hole will be drilled, to allow the adjuster to be fed through the trunk sheet metal area....to the top of the strut.

Without those extended adjusters, there is really no easy way to adjust the suspension in the rear.

Alright thanks guys. Maybe i'll just have them put it in when i get my rear camber kit put on.

Right now it seems like i might be bottoming out in the back, but im not entirely sure. i figure i'd try to stiffen it to see if that fixes the problem.

Just installed the coilovers myself today but had no time by the end of the day to adjust them. So my car is sitting in the garage with its **** on the ground and nose high in the air....
(No big deal since this is my weekend car and I don't drive it during the week - have an old pickup truck I park at the train station daily)

2 questions before next weekend when I start adjusting:
1) It looks like you have to take the wheel off to adjust height, correct?
2) I know what the adjustments on both the rear and front struts are for (up/down) - what is the adjustment on the rear springs themselves for?

The instructions are HORRID. I haven't ever seen worse Engrish - so maybe someone can help me out.

You definitely have to take the wheel off. And I do not know the adjustment on the rear spring itself but they need to be adjusted the exact amount as the strut.
